SECTION ONE: INDUSTRIAL CORN

Now, Pollan begins his journey on the discovery of four meals. The first one? Industrial. This section is all about corn, but not the sweet corn we think about. No, this is about the industrial, genetically-modified, hard corn that creates everything from caramel color to corn starch. And if you thought you only ate corn during the summer, or for Thanksgiving, think again.

  1. Corn!!! Oh, how we both have learned to love/hate corn production. I am so excited you read this book just so that when I comment on corn production in class, someone understands me!

  2. I'm glad that I read this book just to understand corn in our current food market. It's so interesting! As much as I should hate it, I can't!
